“While I continue to meet in large, public forums open to the public, Peter Roskam once again is ducking his constituents,” said Casten. “Debates are healthy and important for our democracy, and voters demand them because they want to attend and participate. But just like his refusal to hold a town meeting for more than ten years, Peter Roskam is refusing to debate in the very district he represents.”
